The original part of the house (log cabin) dates back to the 1700's and is the second oldest structure in Madison County. The house was completely restored in 2005 adding a new addition that houses a large modern kitchen, and 3 full baths (over 3,800 sq ft). The house has all the modern conveniences including wireless internet and direct TV so you can stay connected, but the house has maintained its unique historical charm to include its wide hickory planked floors, log cabin rooms with stone fireplaces, and hand crafted wood work throughout the home. The house even offers a "pub" room that's great to enjoy a drink while playing darts or cards after a hard day of outdoor activities. There are six total bedrooms which includes the sunroom that closes off. There are 15 total beds and can sleep up to 18 if there are five couples. The breakout as follows:

Additionally, she can provide augmented support to your cooking team by the hour.
Please note hosting intimate day events during a rental are done by exception and will involve additional fees and depending on size of group most likely require renting a port a john. Set up dates prior to event and dates afterward to clean up to include picking up of tents or port a potties must be incorporated into the dates of the rental. Special event insurance also must be purchased. Weddings require a "3 Day minimum rental as local companies do not pick up tents and port a johns on Sunday's which then requires extending the rental to Monday. Additionally, for weddings, Whippoorwill Manor Farm requires a minimum of day-of-coordination assistance with the wedding coordinators of "Girls from Main Street," located in Culpepper. They offer a variety of levels of support from minimum oversight of use of the farm for the wedding to comprehensive full-service event planning.

Madison County has been a crossroads of history for over 11,000 years. Paleo-Indians, the royal governor Alexander Spottswood and the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe, as well as Civil War Generals Stonewall Jackson and J. E. B. Stuart along with their men have all been visitors to Madison County. Trails and early roads led through the Piedmont area of Madison and up into the Blue Ridge Mountains enabling 18th and 19th century travelers to enter the Shenandoah Valley. Early settlers included German, English and Scots/Irish families in the 18th century. Descendants of these families still live in Madison.
President Herbert Hoover bought land in the mountain area of Madison and built his summer camp there. His official visit to the town of Madison in August 1929 is commemorated annually. The county has retained its rich agricultural tradition and has maintained the architectural heritage of 18th and 19th century buildings and homes. Museums offer a view to the past for history buffs of all ages and a walking tour of the town of Madison enables visitors to appreciate its beauty. Travel through the county will bring the visitor into the unique blend of country life today amidst the historical evidence of years gone by.
Will need an auto to get to the farm and to visit stores and conduct sightseeing. Biking is terrfic on the surrounding country roads. Bikes are available to use at the farm.
Farm is located six miles from Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park. Many historic places to see including the homes of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. Several vineyards just minutes away.

The Manor was an unbelievable place for a large group to stay! The hosts were accommodating and generous, and the house was very clean and tidy. This is the best Airbnb experience we have had!

KourtneyJuly 2016

Walking in the Manor for the first time was a true pleasure. The grounds provided entertainment for my whole family on our wedding weekend. The house's history, character, and charm ensures that we will be staying again in the future. Eric bent over backwards to accommodate our family leading up to the stay. Meeting the caretaker Delores was a real treat a well. Bottom line, if you want to have the perfect family retreat in the VA foothills look no further.

RyanOctober 2015

We had a fantastic time at the whippoorwill manor farm. We had a girls weekend with 13 people and everyone for swimmingly. We love the fire pit, the gorgeous house and grounds. We made full use of the kitchen - which really was fully stocked (we are foodies and cook a to. So we mean it). Only slight hiccup was that the gas grill didn't work for us, and the groundskeeper didn't seem to be able to help us when we couldn't get it to start. Other than that, everything. Was absolutely fabulous. I should say that Eric was also extremely responsive and attentive in advance of our stay.

StephanieSeptember 2014

We had a wonderful time at Eric's beautiful, idyllic house. Everything was perfect when we arrived. The house is very cozy, just great for a group getaway. And the outdoor dining area was a favorite too. I highly recommend it. Can't wait to go back!

Sona and WalkerAugust 2015

Exceeded expectations. The pictures don't do this place justice. We went with kids for a week. Parked the car and never moved it. Will return. Kitchen stocked with most of the gadgets to make most meals. Spices are well stocked. Grounds are manicured. 17 month old, 3 year old, and adults all loved it.

PatrickApril 2015

The farm was the perfect location and arrangement for our group of artists on retreat. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable (we had 10 adults in our group). And the layout of the beautiful old home allowed people to sit and chat in intimate groups but there was also several places that were perfect for the entire group to get together. The grounds were ideal for artist to (URL HIDDEN) much reference material! The kitchen was spacious and well stocked. We found the whole experience ideal and plan to come back soon....and often. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us.

KellyJune 2016

The host, Eric, and the caretakers clearly care so much about their guests' experience at Whippoorwill Manor Farm. Eric sent us very detailed information in advance as to what we could expect to find in the house and in the nearby area, which made it easy to plan. We especially enjoyed the indoor gas and wood-burning fireplaces and the outdoor fire pit (well stocked with wood), the hiking trails that are literally steps from the property, the bright day room, cozy sitting room, and huge kitchen. The house easily could have slept twice as many people, but our group of 11 felt very at home. It couldn't have been more perfect, and our group can't wait to return.

LauraNovember 2015

Whippoorwill Manor Farm exceeded all of our expectations! We were a group of 7 adults and 3 kids staying for a winter weekend. We were indeed "enchanted" by the beautiful historic home, extensive grounds and our hosts' attention to detail. They have truly thought of and provided everything you need. Imagine our delight to find a packnplay for the baby to sleep in just as we realized we had forgotten to bring our own. Our host was quickly responsive and accessible during our booking process and during our stay and made sure we had access to the housekeeper and caretaker in case we had any unmet needs during our stay (we did not!). We enjoyed exploring the barn and well-marked hiking trails, using the farm sleds on excellent sledding hills, setting our little daredevil free on the kids all-terrain vehicle, warming up in the sauna, marveling at the night sky, cooking in the chef's kitchen, eating our meals at the huge farm table, curling up in front of the woodburning fire for games, drinks and conversation. The house is so spacious - comfortable sleeping and living for many more than our little group of 9. The farm house is steeped in history and beautifully renovated and decorated. We made wonderful friendship memories at the farm and hope to return! It would clearly be amazing any season of the year.

The Old Church Cottage is a relaxing retreat or your home base for exploring the Shenandoah Mountains. A mile from Graves Mountain Lodge with it's many festivals and activities and minutes from DuCard Winery and the entrance to Old Rag, there is something nearby for all interests.

The Old Church Cottage began in 1900 as a Mennonite church. Our family purchased the the cottage in 2014. We have lovingly restored the interior and added a few modern conveniences, being careful to maintain the original rustic charm. A great get away or a comfortable home base for exploring the Shenandoah Mountains.
The entire house.

The Old Church Cottage is less than a mile from Graves Mountain Lodge, which serves three family-style meals per day by reservation. Guests can go horseback riding, visit the farm animals at Graves farm, and sign up for a Friday or Saturday night hayride. Within a few miles of the cottage are two of Virginia's most popular hikes, White Oak Canyon and Old Rag.
DuCard Winery is 3 miles northeast and Early Mountain Vineyard is 13 miles south. Many other wineries, breweries and distilleries are a short drive away. Antique shopping abounds in the area. We have prepared a detailed directory of the local sights, restaurants, and activities for our guests.
Several transportation companies offer tours of local wineries. You can even arrange a pick up from the cottage. Let us know if you would like contact information.
Please note: The Old Church Cottage is a truly unplugged get-away, no cell service, no internet and no tv. It's a great fit for people who want to unplug and enjoy the outdoors but not a good fit for a working vacation. The Graves Mountain Lodge Apple Festival is held the first three weekends in October. Come on Friday and let the cottage be your home base, no driving required.

We had the most amazing time! I rented the house with a few girlfriends for the weekend so that we could hike Old Rag and visit a couple wineries. The house was perfect for the 8 of us to hang out, cook and rest our feet after our hike. Thank you Channing!

LauraOctober 2015

We had a very nice time. We appreciated the maps, etc., that were there in the house. The full kitchen was especially appreciated by all of us, as was the super-long table. Tina

TinaAugust 2015

Our brief stay at the Old Church Cottage was lovely. We found everything to be impeccably clean, and even though we didn't get to meet, Channing was very helpful and nice via email and phone. The cottage is also in a great location--within just a few minutes drive of some of Shenandoah National Park's best hikes (White Oak Canyon, Old Rag) and a bunch of vineyards. Thanks again for your hospitality!

EmilyAugust 2015

We had a perfect stay at the Old Church Cottage. Channing provides a very welcoming accommodation and lots of helpful information on the surrounding area and things to do and see. The cottage was exactly as advertised and was beautifully prepared for our arrival -- fresh, clean, comfortable. Super convenient as home base for our visit to the park. All interactions were welcoming, timely, clear, and informative. I would highly recommend for a family visit to the area and would stay again.

K.A.May 2016

Channing is an amazing host. This cottage truly does feel like home. We arrived and walked into an extremely relaxing environment with six kids. The decor was well thought out and many wonderful additions to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The kids enjoyed the river, playhouse,and rope swing tremendously ! Wow! We arrived home to Texas and immediately wanted to go back to Old Church Cottage. The wise words of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat are: "Be humble, Be simple, Be Smart!" Old Church Cottage is all three characteristics wrapped up in a very sophisticated loving package. We even stayed an additional day to relax after enjoying beautiful Shenandoah National Park. There is so much to do in the area.

PhilipJuly 2016

The Old Church Cottage was perfect for our Old Rag hiking adventure. It is on a quiet little back road only a few minutes drive from Old Rag mountain. We liked the large open layout of the house. The ceiling was about 14' tall with all but one bed in an open loft in the rear of the house. We had one issue, but Channing was quick to fix it to our satisfaction. Very glad we found this cottage.

JordanJune 2016

The cottage is truly special, the photos don't do it justice. It was the perfect place to hunker down with 2 kids over a long autumn weekend. I love the high ceilings and all the light from the tall windows, and the antique doors on rollers are a nice touch! It was great having access to a modern kitchen, and there were things for the kids to investigate in every corner of house. They really appreciated the board games and swing set, and we had nice walks to the river to build cairns. Channing was very prompt with all her responses, and we appreciated all the little touches that made our stay so charming.

MaryNovember 2015

This place is amazing! If we could own a cabin this would be it! The location is gorgeous, the design was kept original and yet felt clean, not old and so open. All the things for the children to do...train track building, the loft, the tree swing, playground, this was a haven for them. I so enjoyed the hammock-we would have stayed so much longer if we didn't have to go back to work! The Rose River is right in the back yard, beautiful! They even provide local charcoal-we went and purchased it (made from tree bark). Everything presented was there and it was better than we thought-it was much bigger inside than we expected. We are so glad we chose this cabin and will be returning! There is no wi-fi or cell reception, which meant we really enjoyed each other! I listened to my children laughing, the birds chirping and river rambling while laying in the hammock instead of texting unnecessary words. It was excellent!

Rosemary's Nest is a fantastic place to stay and the hosts were wonderful! The living space is incredibly comfortable, clean, and well decorated with all the amenities we needed. We were in the area to hike around Shenandoah and visit local breweries, wineries, and distilleries and the location was perfect for that. We'd definitely stay there again!

ChrisMay 2016

Rosemary was such a gracious and generous host! The apartment was very clean and spacious. There was so much room for us to spread out and relax and it has all the amenities you would expect in a one bedroom apartment. Plus the outside porch provided great views and a nice place to watch the nature all around us. The location was a great jumping off point to hike old rag and explore the area around Skyline drive. We really enjoyed staying there and would definitely stay at Rosemary's Nest again!

DavidSeptember 2015

Staying at Rosemary's Nest was an amazing experience. She has a beautiful space with private living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Loved the wood fire. She even surprised us with a stocked refrigerator, which was incredible for after a long day of hiking White Oak Canyon in Shenandoah. Very convenient location for anyone planning some hiking in the national park. Would absolutely stay again.

DavidMay 2016

We were well taken care of at Rosemary’s nest and pleased with this peaceful nature getaway in Shenandoah. The location was convenient for both wine tasting and hiking Old Rag. Rosemary was a very warm, attentive host. The space itself was very spacious, comfortable, and had generous accommodations including plenty of snacks and a basket of helpful hiking essentials, just in case we needed it. We could not recommend this place anymore highly.

KeiganAugust 2016

My stay at Rosemary's Nest was very pleasant. The Nest is very roomy and clean. I really enjoyed sitting on the porch out front. Rosemary and her husband were very helpful.

LindaJuly 2015

Our time at Rosemary's Nest was perfect. In every way, we were delighted with our stay-- from the warm and thorough communication with Rosemary to the picturesque location of Rosemary's Nest, and (very much) for the exceptional accommodations. Thank you very much, Rosemary----such an ideal and happy weekend for our family. We look forward to the next time!

GregNovember 2015

Rosemary's Nest is a must! We had an absolute amazing time. Rosemary was such a friendly person. She greeted us and opened up her house to us. The downstairs (where we stayed) was a full furnished basement with a small kitchen, romantic wood burning stove, living/dining room area and a bed room with two queen size beds. The stay was tranquil and serene after a long day of hiking. I am already looking ahead to book a future date with a second couple as it is a perfect place to enjoy with another group.

JAYNovember 2015

Rosemary's Nest was a perfect home to start our road trip in. She and her husband have thought of every detail that would make your stay comfortable. She greeted us upon arrival, they helped us stay the wood stove when the weather was agreeing and gave us suggestions as to where to go and what you do along the beautiful blue ridge mountains. The location is perfect for hiking, billing and skyline drive. This is clearly s labor of love for Rosemary and her husband and the stocked kitchenette with snacks and breakfast was so thoughtful and much appreciated. Beautiful, clean home, lovely porch and view and a very kind and communicative couple.

We really enjoyed our stay in Jan's house! It was a perfectly positive experience. The home was extremely clean and cozy. All the rooms were fully stocked with sheets and towels and bathroom items. Jan left a nice note and a pie for us in the fridge. The surrounding land is stunning and we loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the view. Loved that there was a pack n play for our baby too! Everything was perfect and we would definitely stay here again!

ShaliniMarch 2016

Exceeds expectations on all counts. The house was immaculately clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches everywhere (flashlight, binoculars, any baby stuff you could imagine, pool noodles to stuff under the sheets for a kid that sleeps in one of the tall beds). We used all of the beds/bedrooms, and everyone was very comfortable. We cooked all meals in the kitchen and it was very well appointed. The grill was spotless with a full tank of gas and set of tools. Jan was a great host, respectful of privacy, but also more than happy to talk and make local recommendations as needed. She and her daughters brought their three sheep over and entertained the kids one evening - a perk you don't find with the big chains ... :) We look forward to going back!

What a wonderful stay we had! Jan was was helpful with lots of tips and she gave us a delicious pie and lots of water to welcome us. The house is beautiful and peaceful! The pictures don't do justice for this wonderful house. 5 stars for everything! We will be back!

JenniferMarch 2016

The house is beautiful and it has everything you need.(the kitchen is amazing well equipped. It felt like home! All the rooms are very clean , new and bigger than they look in the pictures. The outside porch has a swing and amazing views. We arrived on freezing Friday night and It was super nice because the house was warm and Jan left a welcome note and a pumpkin cake :) She was very nice from the beginning, helping us find plans for the weekend and giving us tips to make the most of the house. The area is great; Shenandoah is very close if you like hiking,you can see a lot of different animals! If you come from a city, you will be pleased with the beautiful environment, the mountains and the fresh air, it is worthy! We are looking forward to come back in summer and try the barbecue! :)

SilviaMarch 2015

Jan is a fantastic host. She is polite, prompt and professional. Her home is exactly as described and exceeds expectations. It is simply beautiful. Jan goes above and beyond to make her customers feel welcomed and taken care of. Thank you Jan for yet another great experience!

ChrisNovember 2015

Jan was very welcoming and even brought us party hats to help us ring in the new year. She came by to introduce herself and let us know that if we needed anything that she would be around. The house was beautiful and all necessary items in the kitchen, bathrooms, etc. were easy to locate. The book for guest with all of the information was easy to find and the directions for cleaning up were easy to use. We had a wonderful trip and look forward to coming back!

SaraJanuary 2016

house and property was beautiful. jan went above and beyond to make our stay a great weekend. i would definitely come back if i stayed in the area again

ChrisApril 2015

Property is more beautiful than pictures (by far). Some furniture are excellent piece of decoration with a mix of antique and a remembrance of old times. We took pictures of all of them. Place is beautiful, gorgeous surroundings and the Skyline Scenic Drive is a must that you will never forget. It was a pleasure doing business with Jan. We have a great time and a fantastic experience!

Cozy Carriage House apartment close to Shenandoah, Presidential homes, many vineyards and breweries. Easy access to Culpeper and Charlottesville. Enjoy the privacy and seclusion yet easy access to an array of activities. We welcome couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families, and pets. Welcome home!

Our property is at the end of quiet country road near the historic town of Madison. The carriage house apartment is quiet, private (own entrance), and well appointed (full kitchen, bath and laundry access). Our unique setting on a grassy sloped hill, surrounded by woods, next to a hidden creek makes you feel far away from the hustle and bustle. Bring your (well behaved) dogs and let them run!
The property has everything from a pool and a connected hot tub(seasonally May through October) to quiet spots by the creek. The fire pit is perfect as the evenings cool for a drink with friends. We generally keep the farmhouse as private space (and respect yours as the same) but invite you to spend time on the front porch for a coffee or drink. The dedicated grill is available for use near the firepit.
Locally, we are only 2 miles from Madison village. Though not too bustling, there are a few decent restaurants in Madison including the mountaineer cafe (diner - breakfast/lunch), Madison inn (highly recommended dinner), pig n steak (BBQ - lunch, dinner) and pie in the sky (pizza). Just a few more miles south is the world famous Yoders (a must see) and further down 29 is The Bavarian Chef, a German favorite. And of course a McDonald's.
Its just a short distance from the house (~3 miles) and just south of Madison on Rt 29 to a grocery store (Food Lion) and liquor store. And of course the 7-eleven is just out on Rt 29 to the left, a mile away.
We live in the adjacent farmhouse and are available to assist with making your stay enjoyable. We love getting to know guests and often meet up by the fire pit for some smores and mulled wine but respect those that want a more private experience.

Less than 30 min to Old Rag Mtn, White Oak Canyon and Skyline drive! Make this your home base to explore.
We are less than 40 min from Charlottesville, 20 min from Culpeper,
and mile off Route 29.
Need advice on restaurants, local vineyards, breweries, hiking trails and off the beaten path places of interest? Just ask...
Please note: There is high speed internet, but like many people in rural areas we deal with satellite internet and limited data, so we just ask that people not stream video. The trade offs for country living - but otherwise we believe you will enjoy the peace and quite so much you won't even miss it :-)

This was our first time using Air BnB and it was a great experience! The guest house is super cute, and has everything you would need (much better than any hotel). Athea had the place in perfect condition. She was very welcoming and helpful in suggesting all the popular spots around town! Highly recommended, we will definitely go back!

ZachNovember 2016

The stay was very nice. The location was dreamlike. The hosts made sure everything was taken care of. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to take advantage of Madison during the fall.

VicNovember 2016

We had a great time at the guesthouse. We stayed in the upper apartment which was very clean, equipped with a full kitchen, very nice bathroom and outdoor patio. Our dog loved all the space to run in the yard! It is located within 30 min of Shenandoah and numerous wineries. Lots to do in the area but also very secluded and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again. Athea and Matt were very hospitable and provided everything we needed.

JakeOctober 2016

Athea was wonderful! The place was absolutely spotless and well-situated to get to hikes in Shenandoah. The property is beautiful, and I found Athea to be warm and personable. Would definitely rent again or recommend to anyone looking for a cozy spot near great hiking.

LeslieNovember 2016

This guesthouse was absolutely perfect for our long weekend. The location is close to some great local spots; we enjoyed Shawn's smokehouse BBQ, many wineries especially Early Mountain, and Far Gohn brewery to name a few. The house is just far enough away on a secluded road to really take in nature and the stars by the fire at night. We hiked Old Rag and it was just about 20-30 min ride from the house. The property itself is also great for a short stroll by the creek or just around. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive. We enjoyed meeting and chatting with Athea during our stay and meeting Matt just before our departure. We highly recommend this spot.

SarahNovember 2016

Amazing place and the photos don't do this gem justice! The apartment was fantastic and the property was perfect for my two boys to run and explore. Athea and Matt were amazing hosts and were prompt in communicating with me and offering assistance if needed. The location of the property was also perfectly located for all the activities I had planned for the weekend...Shenandoah National Park (30 min) and Luray Caverns (55 min). The apartment is spacious and Athea and Matt have put special little welcome touches thoughout the space. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a conveniently located place that has a secluded and private feel to it.

SamanthaNovember 2016

Athea and Matt were accommodating and very friendly. The fire pit and grill were a major plus for our stay. The guesthouse living space is immaculate and well furnished with everything you could need for a short trip. They even left us some fruit and oatmeal which made for a convenient quick breakfast on the way out one morning for an early hike. i would absolutely recommend staying here, and would stay again. *****

MikeOctober 2016

Perfect getaway! We loved our stay at Athea and Matt's apt. The apartment is spacious yet cozy. Everything is new and very comfortable, especially the bed. We enjoyed taking in the view of nearby forest from the porches on either side of the apartment. Our dog Selma Mae loved exploring the property. Athea and Matt were both very gracious and responsive hosts. We hope to return again soon.

It is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. Only 90 min drive from D.C.
Unplug!!!

Our caretaker, Connie, will be available should you need her. Her phone number will be provided at the cabin.

Wooded and secluded, the cabin sits on 4 acres overlooking the pond. There are other cabins in the area but not that you can see from ours.
Dont forget that GPS is unreliable in this remote area. Use maps and written directions...Old School!
Bring charcoal, and food with you. There is a full grocery store in Madison, VA (20 min away). There is also a local mercantile just a few miles away for the bare necessities and fishing licenses.

The cabin is cozy and in a great location for Shenandoah Park, wineries, and other outdoor activities. You definitely feel like you have your own space, even though there are a few neighbors. The indoor fireplace and fire pit are nice features.

KellyNovember 2016

I have stayed here many times, and each time, it's exactly what I needed - a chance to unplug and be off the grid. Thanks for making this place available and I look forward to staying here again!

AmandaAugust 2016

a unique experience! if you enjoy hiking, spectacular views and waterfall pools. this cabin is just a few miles from these things. accommodations were good and the running water was hot. no WiFi! no cell service! just plan to be disconnected. my family and I had a great time.

ChadJuly 2016

My guests and I really enjoyed our stay at Jane's cabin. Privacy, silence and the pond lake were a few of the many serenities we enjoyed. Perfect location to fully experience what Shenandoah valley, the Blue Ridge Mountains and what the surrounding communities have to offer. Convenient drive to the Old Rag Mountain hiking trail. And overall nice place to temporarily call home on a valley trip with a few friends or family.

TatendaSeptember 2016

This was all the description said and much more. The cabin is a wonderful place to get away from it all and enjoy nature mountain, hiking and a beautiful pond.

Studio Apartment In Carriage House with full amenities on secluded and historic 5 acre property. Perfect spot to access the Shenandoah Mountains, vineyards, breweries, Charlottesville and Culpeper. Quiet, secluded 1903 Farmhouse property is yours to explore or just relax on your own private deck. Hot tub is seasonal.

Our property is at the end of a quiet country road near the historic town of Madison. The carriage house studio apartment is clean, private and well appointed (full kitchen/bath/laundry). Our unique setting on a grassy sloped hill, surrounded by woods, next to a hidden, bubbling brook, makes you feel far away from the hustle and bustle. Bring your (well behaved) dogs and let them run!
Bed: The black sofa is a double size futon but we also have a self-inflating queen air-mattress that is very comfortable as an option. It just a matter of quick setup in the room. The kitchen island moves over and it fits in the middle. There are linens provided for either.
The property has everything from a pool and connected hot tub (seasonally May through October) to quiet spots by the creek. The fire pit is great as the evenings cool to sit around with a drink. We generally keep the farmhouse as private space (and respect yours as the same) but invite you to spend time on the front porch for a coffee or drink. A private grill is available for use at the deck above the pool.

This place is amazing! Best airbnb experience we've had to date. Our little cozy apartment was perfect. And the fire pit, views, and gorgeous farmhouse was perfect. Athena was such a thoughtful an accommodating host and her little puppies were too cute. We will be back!

AmandaNovember 2016

Athea's apartment is exactly as pictured and described. The property is beautiful, and the apartment is very comfortable. The location is very convenient to a variety of activities in the area. Athea and Matt were very friendly and welcoming. We were happy to be among the first guests at this apartment!

MelissaOctober 2016

This little nook lives large. The place is well appointed and the property is lovely and peaceful. We were treated kindly and our every need met! The hosts are kind and welcoming and their dogs are friendly and fun! We feel great about our stay here in the Shenandoah area for a weekend away at a wedding.

JoannaOctober 2016

Athea's place is beautiful, a perfect place to enjoy the nature. The studio is very comfortable, clean and well-furnished. Athea was very welcoming, the communication with her very easy. She provided us accurate indications to easily find the place. We had there a very good time there, and would certainly rent the studio again while hiking/enjoying the Shenandoah Park!

neigeNovember 2016

Tough to find a place to stay in the area but glad this perfect place was available. Accurately described and easy to find. Would stay again!

MiroslawNovember 2016

Great base of operations for Shenandoah area. The hosts are so friendly and the fire pit is a great way to hang out and have great conversations

AlexOctober 2016

This was the perfect location for hiking in Shenandoah -- Old Rag or White Oak Canyon -- and going to wineries. Athea and Matt were very friendly and we had a nice time around the fire pit. The studio was super clean, updated and comfortable. Definitely recommend!

White Oak Canyon Cottage is a cozy cottage nestled in a beautiful valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Robinson River. It is located adjacent to the Shenandoah National Park and is literally steps from the White Oak Canyon Hiking Trail.

Our cottage offers small, modest accommodations and is ideally located for hiking, fishing, birding, watching wildlife, visiting wineries, or just relaxing. It is fully furnished. We have two small bedrooms - one bedroom with a full size bed and one bedroom with bunk beds. Our kitchen is provided with full stove, refrigerator, micro-wave oven, and dishwasher. The cottage is furnished with coffee maker and filters, toaster, dishes, pots and pans, pillows, sheets, blankets, and towels. It is also furnished with dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, and bath soap. Just bring food! The bathroom has a combination tub/shower. In addition, we have a large backyard with a Weber charcoal grill, fire pit, roasting sticks, and horseshoes for your enjoyment. Firewood is provided for your convenience. The cottage is a manufactured home that has been modified with an overhead, permanent roof and siding.
Guests have full access to the cottage and backyard. The cottage is located within walking distance to the lower trail heads of some of the best hiking trails in the Blue Ridge Mountains - White Oak Canyon Hiking Trail and Falls and Cedar Run Hiking Trail. Old Rag Mountain Hiking Trail is less than one mile up the mountain. The Robinson River is also located within walking distance from the cottage.
Please contact us for any questions you may have regarding our accommodations or the surrounding area. We will send detailed information (including cottage address, where to access the keys, phone information, etc.) once the cottage is reserved.

The cottage is very remote and wildlife is abundant. White tailed deer are prevalent in this area around dusk and at night. Also, it is not unusual for bears to come strolling past the cottage during June, July, and August. The bears also like to climb up in the apple trees in the backyard to eat the apples.
Also, it gets very dark at night..... very nice for stargazing.
There is no public transit. A car is required.
TV/DVD Player/Internet:
A 32" flat screen TV and DVD player are provided in the cottage. TV service is provided via Dish TV. Please bring some DVDs for viewing. Wi-Fi service is provided to keep you in touch.
Phone Service:
Please note that there are no cell phone towers in the area and therefore no cell phone coverage. You have to drive about 10 miles to obtain cell phone reception. The cottage is provided with a phone for calling locally and in case of emergency. We will provide the phone number once the cottage is reserved.
Insects:
The cottage is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so there will be insects. Brown lady bugs are prolific in this area. We do our best to keep the cottage free of insects; however the brown lady bugs have a way of sneaking in.

This was a perfect place for our two day mini trip. It truly is within a super close walking distance to one of the best trails at the park. We also had the chance to see a mother bear and her cub early in the morning. I enjoyed our stay and everything was really easy and accommodating.

ZachJune 2015

Bill's house is in an amazing location. Perfect for a weekend getaway. He told us everything we needed to know for a good trip, and we really appreciated it. I would definitely recommend this house.

KatieFebruary 2016

The best thing about the listing is its location! Can walk to white oak trail and avoid the carpark which was pretty crazy. 2min drive to old rag 'easy side' carpark. Listing description was very accurate. It is effectively a trailer. Compact, but tidy. Had a good kitchen, 1 double bed, 2 single bunks. Listing had not mentioned WiFi so weren't expecting it, however when we got there found it did, however it did not work (some technical dishsat problem) Bill was very quick at responding and even left lights on when we got there late (only text him at last minute!)

GeorgeJuly 2015

Absolutely perfect! There is nothing else to say, but I will ramble for a while. Bill was a fantastic host. Very responsive to questions and accommodating to all of my extra requests. The location simply can't be beat. You are right next to the White Oak Canyon trailhead and less than a mile from the Old Rag trailhead. If you want to do some beautiful hikes, this is your place. Accommodations in the house are exactly as described and very comfortable. We only stayed one night, but we could have comfortably stayed for a week or more. It is a bit small, so I would say one family of 4 or 4 adults is the absolute most you can have in here. Full kitchen, bathroom with a shower/tub, all stocked. The only thing you need to bring is food to cook. I have already recommended Bill's place to my friends and encourage you to stay here as well.

ChrisJanuary 2016

Had a wonderful time staying at this cottage. It's proximity to white oak canyon trail, old rag, and skyline drive is unbeatable. White Oak Canyon trail is family friendly and steps away from the cottage. Birders bring your binoculars! We saw scarlet tanagers and waterthrushes during our hike. The cottage is well kept with a nice back yard. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a webber grill with charcoal and lighter fluid, though you'll want to bring matches and bbq utensils. We will definitely come back to this spot later in the year.

KailaMay 2015

Great, cozy place with a large yard. Bill has an excellent and thorough guide to the surrounding area. There's a wonderful restaurant nearby and lots of hiking.

MarwoodJuly 2016

Nice tiny cabin as described just on the trailhead of White Oak Canyon Hike... One might be feel cramped but I felt it was cozy. It had everything we needed or could think off. A small table outside and a fire ring let us spend the evening outside. The constant sound of water running and of the forest was cool. Bill gave us very detailed information and was very helpful. Great stay !

UbainthranApril 2016

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 2 miles outside Shenandoah National Park, and just off main street in Sperryville, our cozy apartment is close to a variety of attractions. Fully furnished with a full bath, kitchen, off street parking, and private deck and entrance. We're just a short drive to the park or a short walk to downtown Sperryville.

Originally a 19th century barn that was later converted into two apartments, we offer a queen size bed, a twin captain's bed, open layout, with a full kitchen and bath. The main house (built in 1916 and affectionately known as Boo Boo's House) sits right next door just off main street. Get away from it all and enjoy the mountains in the heart of Sperryville and Rappahannock County with its antique shops, art galleries, wineries, and world famous restaurants.
Private parking, private entrance, free wifi, full kitchen, walking distance to shops and restaurants.
We leave that up to the guests. We are right next door and are always available when needed.

Sperryville is a charming little village. Full of character (and characters!)
So much to do in such a tiny town. Wonderful restaurants, antiques and galleries abound.Along with wineries, we have Brew Pubs and a local distillery. Not to mention all the natural beauty that surrounds us. Friendly and beautiful community!

This is a terrific home base for anyone exploring Shenandoah NP.

KerryNovember 2016

Everything, from beginning to end, could not have been any better!!! Friendly, accommodations were great, location was quaint. Would definitely enjoy staying there again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

LynnNovember 2016

We were looking for a place close to Shenandoah NP and I found this cute barn apartment and wanted to check it out. We were from get go with the care the hostess Elena showed. Upon arrival, Mark greeted us and gave us a tour of the apartment with full kitchen and private bathroom which was very tastefully appointed. The room was just PERFECT! He also suggested some local shops to check out - which we did and enjoyed next morning. They were great hosts and we will continue to try to stay with them when we visit Shenandoah NP

VasukiOctober 2016

Elena and Mark were the perfect hosts! The place was great - right by main street, close to all the main food spots. The room was so cozy and spacious, more than enough space for two people to be comfortable. Elena sent me a ton of recommendations and Mark gave us some great hike suggestions. I loved it and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I will defiantly stay there again. Thank you both for being so great!

CristinaOctober 2016

What a wonderful experience and peaceful country living with small town foot steps away. We loved our stay here and the host were fantastic! They answered all of our questions about local hiking and dining options. We discovered for the first time Washington VA and had a blast going into shops and dining in the local restaurants. The apartment was spacious and very clean with fresh flowers and rosemary details, and the fluffiest white towels and linens in the world. Early in the morning I strolled to get high end slow pour coffee and piping hot donuts. Happy, content and refreshed after one night and only 1.5 hours from our home in DC. Book it now if you are lucky to find it vacant. We will definitely return and love this area so much we may buy! Best , Tom and Nak

Thomas & NakNovember 2016

Great location in downtown Sperryville, Mark and Elena were super friendly and accommodating, with tons of helpful information and tips. We stayed primarily as a home base for hiking in Shenandoah National Park, and it was a perfect stay.

JoeOctober 2016

This apartment was adorable. It was clean & well equipped & the hosts were very friendly & accommodating. Very spacious for two people. Sperryville is the cutest small town & super close to Shenandoah. Downtown was walkable & there was a little market with everything you could need to cook dinner right there as well. Loved it & would definitely return!

HIKERS' DREAM. The property abuts the Shenandoah National Park and is walking distance to the popular Old Rag Mountain and White Oak & Cedar Run trails.
PEACEFUL RETREAT: The cabins are set on 5 acres fronting the Robinson River, with a backyard meadow, 2 ponds and a screen house where you can doze peacefully to the sounds of the burbling river and frogs. Unplug and truly relax.
MOUNTAIN CABIN CHARM: Modern amenities in a rustic setting of warm natural wood and extensive fieldstone.

When you arrive at Birch’s Library, you’ll realize you’re in a dream location -- it’s the last house before the Shenandoah National Park. You can walk out your front door to the trail heads for Old Rag Mountain and White Oak Canyon/Cedar Run. These are two of the most popular hikes in the Park due to the gorgeous vista at the summit of Old Rag and the beautiful waterfalls along White Oak and Cedar Run. You won’t have to get into a car during your entire visit.
Enjoy an unplugged vacation! With no cell phone reception, internet or television, you can truly get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature. In the meadow out back you'll see turkey, deer, bunny rabbits, birds and butterflies depending on the season. A screen house is perched at the edge of the two small ponds where you can doze peacefully to the sound of the burbling river and, in the spring, peeper frogs
There are two cabins at Old Rag Cabins. If Birch’s Library is unavailable or you’d like to rent two adjacent cabins for a larger party, check out our AirBnB listing for the adjacent Potlikker House. Also, see our website OldRagCabins.
Birch’s Library, built in 1982, is a year-round, insulated house with rustic charm and modern amenities. The wood paneling, extensive stone work and open floor plan, create the ambiance of a wonderful mountain lodge retreat. The expansive Great Room has a massive heart-of-oak mantle over the large fieldstone fireplace. The Kitchen opens to the Great Room with an 8-foot dining table. The large Bedroom has two raised twin beds, a table, rocker and woodstove. The beds are very high off the ground and you will need to use the stepping stool to get into and out of the beds. Sleeping for two more people is found in the Great Room queen sofabed.
Amenities:
* Great Room – sofabed, 5 sturdy oak rocking chairs, large desk and dining table that seats 8, fireplace, Jotul woodstove.
* Kitchen – electric range and oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, separate wet-bar sink, utensils, dishes, pots and pans.
* Full bathroom
* Laundry room with washer/dryer
* Large BR – two raised twin beds with drawers underneath (you'll need to use the stepping stools to get into and out of the beds), rocker, table for 4, woodstove
* Large back patio overlooking meadow and pond
* Central heat and air conditioning (heat pump) with woodstove and propane wall-mounted heater for supplemental heat.
* Outside there is a large patio overlooking the meadow and the pond with a charcoal BBQ.
* We have a special arrangement with Graves Mountain lodge for our guests to use their pool for a small daily fee per person.
What to Bring:
• If you want to use the BBQ, bring your own charcoal & lighter fluid
• We will provide wood for the fireplace and campfire ring, but you may want to bring lighter fluid and newspaper. We ask that you contribute $5 towards firewood for each fire you make.
• Groceries - there is a general store in Syria that carries some basics but no fresh produce. The closest “real” grocery store is in Madison, which is 25 minutes away. You might want to bring the food you’ll need with you.
• Bug spray
• Flashlight
You will be given the combination to the lockbox that contains the key after you make your reservation.
Shortly after your arrival, we will greet you at the cabin to make sure everything is okay. We will be available by phone to answer any questions you may have during your stay.

The Shenandoah National Park has a wealth of hiking, swimming and fishing -- all within walking distance.
There is dining, swimming and horseback riding in Syria, VA at Graves Mountain Lodge. Please let me know if you want to use the pool at the Lodge as we have a special arrangement there for our guests. There are also many local wineries and dining options nearby.
The region is full of Civil War historical sites and battlefields, and the homes of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson are easy day trips.
We have a notebook in the cabin of local attractions. Also, see our website for more information at OldRagCabins.
You may park two cars in the driveway at the cabin. There is no other parking on the road nearby. The free parking at the Park trailheads fills up very quickly on the weekends, but there is paid parking near the White Oak Canyon Trailhead.
• The cabins are located in the heart of the mountains, and there is a lot of wildlife. Along with the pleasure of seeing deer, wild turkey, black bear, butterflies, rabbits, songbirds and butterflies comes the unpleasant occasional snake. You’ll need to be careful when walking outside as there are poisonous snakes in the area.
• Although we do our best to keep mice out of the house, occasionally one will get inside. If you have lights near the windows at night, bugs can get through the screens.
• Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval. Please tell me about your pet in your inquiry message.
• There is no smoking
For more information, see our website OldRagCabins

Such a fantastic place to stay! Loved everything about the cabin and the quick walk up to Old Rag was a plus! Would most definitely stay here again.

AmandaNovember 2016

The cabin represented a perfect base camp for hiking, enjoying fresh air, relaxing and being warm and comfy in a cabin well stocked with all your needs. Pond outside turned out to be a great place to teach someone to fish for the first time; it took me a while to realize that the pond actually had fish but then it was game on. Fish caught and returned. Highly recommend.

PatOctober 2016

Maureen was most accommodating and helpful before and after my stay. The photos if the interior don't do justice to this rustic gem which has many recent improvements. The cabin features elements of Old Virginia country charm with modern conveniences. If you love hiking, the location could not be better. I would enjoy staying here again!

RobertSeptember 2016

Maureen was great to work with. Everything was as presented. Great location. Hope to come back again someday.

ThomasNovember 2016

Maureen made us feel very welcome. She is very considerate and generous host. Maureen left her contact information in the cabin and came right away after we called her to tell that we arrived. She gave us a full tour of the place/amenities and a lot of good tips on local hiking trails. The cabin is bigger and better looking in real life than on Airbnb pictures. Very spacious and cozy, lovely decor, beautiful and very private setting. Super nice full size kitchen with all pots and pens and flatware you ever need. All appliances - electric stove, full size refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster, microwave, washer/dryer - work perfectly. Very nice and clean full bath with fluffy towels. At night we spent hours sitting by the camp fire outside by the bubbling creek; went to bed at 2 in the morning ... it was magic. What else can I say - it was PERFECT!!! Another great bonus of this cabin is that you do not need to spend any time/money on Shenandoah National Park parking - the cabin in a walking distance from 2 major trails, White Oak and Old Rag (0.3 mi up or down the road). You can connect to several other trails from the White Oak and Old Rag trails and hike all day long without driving an inch! We will be back for years to come if Maureen will have us!

Very special place for family or friend gatherings since it sleeps 8; yet it's also romantic for just the 2 of you. Huge stone fireplace for warm evenings, beautiful night sky and 10 foot beamed ceilings, 2 decks, walks around the 15 acre working farm with 3 acre lake. There are many seating areas and places for a group or just a few to get together for that long talk. Cozy and comfortable formal with a first floor bedroom, but if you have trouble with steps this home may be challenging.

This is a true "escape." Disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other. Think camping. Bring a book, some extra firewood, and hiking gear for Old Rag Mountain.

LaurenNovember 2016

The house is beautiful and very large - the beds are extremely comfortable! Breathtaking home in the country - you will love your stay here. Helen and Peter were responsive and helpful. Great place!!!

GracieOctober 2016

It is a beautiful farmhouse, well furnished and in a great location. It is very close to Shenandoah NP. Peter and Helen were great hosts. The bathroom had their handmade soap and the duck eggs, which they dropped off as a complimentary gift on the last day of our stay added to the charm of the place. It's a great place to stay if you are looking for an escape from the hullabaloo of city life. If you are lucky to have a clear night sky, you can easily see the starlight of the milky way and numerous stars lighting the night sky. You can spend hours star gazing from the porch or the balcony attached to one of the bedrooms.

PratitiSeptember 2016

Very welcoming, it had been a very hectic week with work and we didn't have a lot of time to do any advance planning. We got in late, there was a nice letter waiting for us that answered most questions and the lights were turned on (since we got in after dark) It was everything we needed, an easy, cozy weekend away that didn't require much work or effort. Peter brought by some firewood Saturday night which was perfect.

leslieOctober 2016

The host canceled this reservation 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The Manor House was a perfect getaway from city life. Shenandoah national park was easily accessible and Sperryville was closeby with nice restaurant options. Peter and Helen were great at communication and made sure our stay was enjoyable--they even provide bundles of firewood for the fireplace! Absolutely recommend if you're looking for a retreat near Shenandoah

Spruce Creek Retreat is a 3000 sq ft house on the bank of the Robinson River. It's located adjacent to the Shenandoah National Park and less than 1 mile from the White Oak Canyon and Cedar Run trailheads. These trails offer some of the best waterfall hiking in the Shenandoah National Park. The Old Rag Mountain south parking area is another mile up the road.

These trails offer some of the best waterfall hiking in the Shenandoah National Park. The Old Rag Mountain south parking area is another mile up the road.
'Spruce Creek' refers to the original name of the Robinson River when it was was a central part of pre-world war life in the long-gone village of 'Old Rag'. Spruce Creek Retreat was built in the 1930s as a church to serve the growing community as families were relocated off the mountains when the Shenandoah National Park was established. Converted to a residence decades ago and enlarged/renovated in 2008, this unique and spacious cottage is the perfect retreat for couples, families, groups, and more.
This area abounds with nature and wildlife including whitetail deer, black bear, fox, raccoon, squirrels, trout, birds, etc.
We're located a few miles off Virginia's Route 231, one of America's ten most scenic byways, perfect for biking or an afternoon drive. Close by are extensive hiking trails, trout fishing, horseback riding, antique shops, and wineries/distilleries. A bit further are Charlottesville, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, James Madison's Montpelier, countless civil war battlefields, caverns, Skyline Drive, and more.
Or you may just choose to relax and decompress. Given the location nestled in Berry Hollow, there is no cell phone, internet, or TV service. There is a phone landline.
The whole house!

Close to Syria, Etlan, Culpeper, Sperryville, Madison and Charlottesville VA.
Just a night about pricing...
We require a minimum 2 night stay. Base price is $290 plus cleaning and refundable deposits. If you fill the house, that's just $25 per guest per night.
3 night stays are discounted to $750 plus cleaning and refundable deposits.
Weekly stays are discounted to $1500 plus cleaning and refundable deposits.
Monthly stays are discounted to $5000 plus cleaning and refundable deposits.

Spent the weekend here to serve as a base to hike old rag and enjoy the foliage and had a wonderful time. Helen and Mark were responsive and very easy to work with. The place had plenty of room for 12 of us. A very peaceful setting with a great stream running through the backyard which the boys enjoyed fishing/playing in. The berry hollow entrance to old rag was close and made accessing it very easy. Lots of firewood. A very nice stay and will strongly consider it on our next trip to shenandoah.

MichaelNovember 2016

At first, we were a little apprehensive about not having any internet or cell phone access at Helen's home, but that actually turned out to be the best part of the trip! We were all able to disconnect from the world and enjoy a little getaway. A group of 10 of us went to celebrate my 30th birthday and we had an absolutely fantastic time! Everything was even better than described. Helen responded to my request right away giving me peace of mind (especially when accommodating so many people!) The house was fully stocked and comfortably accommodated the large group of us. We LOVED sitting out by the fire pit both nights and looking at the stars. The weather was perfect for us to sit out on the back porch and have breakfast and enjoy the babbling brook right behind the house. On Saturday, we went to Ducard Vineyard (as was suggested by Helen) and had a wonderful day there. It's a cute vineyard only a 7-10 minute drive from the house with gorgeous autumn views. I would recommend staying at this house to anyone who wants to have a quick, secluded vacation. I will definitely be staying here again! Thank you so much Helen!

JessicaNovember 2016

Helen had the house stocked with all the essentials for a great weekend- from kitchen utensils, some toiletries, and even woods. The house was just as expected and extremely clean. The directions were easy to follow, and the surrounding area was gorgeous. I would definitely stay again, and recommend others to stay there as well.

Elisa November 2016

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION and so much more! Spruce Creek Retreat is the ideal location for anyone planning to hike Old Rag Mountain and/or White Oak Canyon. It’s also the ideal location for a group of up to 12 people who want to enjoy nature and a comfortable home away from home without the distractions of social media and television. We were concerned about forgetting some vital cooking ingredient, but our thoughtful hostess had stocked the kitchen with basic ingredients and plenty of pots and pans—as well as batteries, flashlights, bug spray, and so much more. Our small group was very comfortable, enjoyed preparing meals, eating breakfast on the porch overlooking Spruce Creek, playing board games, and just plain talking while admiring a lovely fire in the fireplace. We’re already talking about making this an annual event!

We invite you to stay in our secluded 1850s solid brick farmhouse. Completely remodeled with all modern conveniences, including central AC, heat, & high speed WiFi. 5 miles from Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. Short walk to Lake Arrowhead.

Hi! We travel often for work and usually stay in other Airbnb rentals around the world. From these experiences, we bought and renovated the Farmhouse as a full-time vacation rental with all the little details we expect (and are often missing in other places). Basically, we created our dream Airbnb vacation stay.
We are Airbnb SuperHosts and hope you'll read through our 5-star reviews to be confident in your booking. The Shenandoah Valley is our home and we love to share the undiscovered pleasures of the area. We have Mountain Ranges on either side of the Valley with a gorgeous River running through it.
Our nightly price covers all local taxes, and accommodation of up to six guests. Kids are always welcome, and we're pet friendly (with prior approval). Just let us know who you're bringing.
House:
We have lovingly rehabbed this 1850s solid brick farmhouse and turned it into a modern home. The house is on a secluded 2 acres with plenty of trees and views.
The remodeled farmhouse has been updated with all conveniences, including central AC, heat and high speed WiFi. This is not a rustic cabin, but some seriously awesome luxury. A great way to enjoy the outdoors. If you have any special needs, just ask. We live just ten minutes away.
Bedrooms:
The Farmhouse can sleep up to six people, but also perfect for a couple who want a quiet getaway. There are two bedrooms. The master suite has a king size bed with new pillow top mattress and flat screen TV. The guest bedroom has a twin convertible trundle bed (converts to a King) that comfortably sleeps two with storage.
There's also a separate Writers Cabin with a queen bed that sleeps two, work desk, flat screen TV w/ Netflix, wifi, and A/C + Heat (need to use the house bathroom). We gladly provide all bed linens and pillows.
Bathrooms:
We have a full bath upstairs with an Americast soaking tub. Downstairs, there's a half bath powder room with washer/dryer. We provide soap, shampoo, towels, and washing detergent.
Living room:
We like to spread out on two couches and mid century recliner. There are plenty of board games, playing cards, novels, kids books and backlogs of magazines to read. Or hook your iPod up to the speakers and play music on the stereo.
Kitchen:
The kitchen is fully equipped with an eight person farm table and antique soapstone sink. You’ll have everything you need to cook a holiday meal, or just make coffee + toast and use the microwave for simple reheating.
If you need anything we don’t have, we'll do our very best to accommodate. We provide a lot of "starter stuff" so guests don't have to over-buy for short stays (creamer, sugar, honey, coffee, condiments, cooking oil, charcoal, bug repellent, etc).
Entertainment:
The house and yard have high speed WiFi access. Lounge inside to check your email, or wander outside to research bugs and birds on Wikipedia. Both flat screens are hooked up to Apple TVs. You can watch unlimited shows and movies on our Netflix account, or sign in to any of your accounts to watch what you want (NFL, NHL, HBO, MLB, iTunes, Hulu, etc).
BBQ:
We custom designed this brick outdoor BBQ to double as a grill and fireplace. We love to have a meal on the Adirondack chairs while looking out over the hills and the friendly herd of cows next door. Sometimes the cows even come up to the fence to say hello. We always leave you with some starter charcoal, BBQ tools, and plenty of firewood.
Night time star gazing:
The BBQ grill then becomes a firepit so you can sit, watch the stars, and listen to the night sounds. Because our nearest neighbor is a quarter mile away, this is one if the best areas in Luray to see the Milky Way without light pollution.
Outdoor Space:
There are two acres of land so you’ll have plenty of room to play a game of soccer, toss the frisbee or play other games from our equipment box. Read a book at at any of our three shaded picnic tables. Explore the stream running along the property when the rain has come. Hang out in the hammock and watch the sun go down over the hill. There is also a covered area to park motorcycles.
Neighborhood Lake:
Lake Arrowhead is just a short walk down our quiet gravel road. Maintained by the town of Luray, you can pay a small fee to rent canoes, paddle boats, or enjoy the beach area with a lifeguard. If you have your own boat, you're welcome to put in (but no motors since this is the town's reservoir). There's also a trail that winds around the lake for a great hike.
Luray Caverns:
The Caverns are world famous since they were discovered over a century ago. The family who runs the Caverns have done a great job creating an inspiring, tasteful experience. It's a perfect place for an afternoon trip underground. There also plenty of other activities for kids like the giant maze and jungle gym. The Pioneer museum showcases demonstrations on how the first settlers in the area lived.
Shenandoah National Park:
We're only five miles from the entrance to the Shenandoah N...

Quiet, nearest neighbor is a quarter mile away. Short walk to Lake Arrowhead Recreation Area, 5 mile drive to Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.
It's rural America so there is no public transportation available. Driving is the best mode of transport. But we do have a growing biking culture so you'll definitely see serious and casual bikers along our country roads most weekends.
If you live along the East Coast, you can take the Amtrak to Culpepper, VA and rent a car. We're about an hour from Culpepper along a beautiful mountain drive.

Jay welcomed us and made us feel welcome from the get go. The place is perfect... Such a charming house and setting. There were so many details and special touches. The kids loved the cows and exploring in the woods. There isn't one thing I would change... Perfect!

GarnettApril 2016

We were lucky to find Jay and Ryanne's unique farmhouse over the first long weekend this year. We have rented several airbnb properties over the years and have to say that this one is the best property by several measures. The check in process was easy and enjoyable; they took the time to show us around and it took now more than 10 minutes. The home itself is modern but retains the best features of its 1800s roots. They have furnished it so tastefully, that I am convinced they are either architects or interior designers. ( the classiest kind ) The kitchen is delightful and takes you back eons. There is also a gorgeous fireplace outside where we enjoyed grilling some Vegetables. There are books, magazines and board games!!! How delightful. The stream flows next to the property and the lake is a stones throw. We spent our time hiking along the Appalachian trail and visiting the Luray caverns. We are bowled over by their hospitality and plan on frequenting their farmhouse in the coming years.

VasundharaJanuary 2016

This was our 2nd time staying here, we love it that much! We had a fabulous time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

MeganOctober 2016

We love this farmhouse! Ryanne and Jay are wonderful hosts and our stay here couldn't have been better. Highly recommended.

Ann November 2016

Ryanne and Jay's farmhouse was perfect for our 2-day stay over New Years. They were easy to keep in touch with and very quick with their communication with us. They met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house as well as some background on their restoration of the house. The house was a dream! It had every thing that you could need and every detail was attended to. The inside of the house was beautiful and extremely clean. Their kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and cookware. There are lots of interesting books, magazines and games throughout the house as well as beautiful artwork throughout. Our dog enjoyed running around the grounds and we were able to walk to the lake at the end of the road. We were able to do some new years yoga on the porch while listening to the stream and the birds. It was a peaceful and perfect way to begin the new year! We definitely would recommend staying here and would love to visit again during the summer!

ZakJanuary 2016

An amazing place in a wonderful little town. I am hesitant to write this only because we want this to be our secret. Such attention to detail. We will book this place often, provided you all stay away. Which you won't. Especially after we talk them into a hot tub. Damn.

TimothyJune 2016

This house is the epitome of peace, comfort, and relaxation. A home away from home. It had everything I needed and more, and everything was as described in the listing. The only surprise was just how truly beautiful the home and surroundings really are. There were many highlights of the trip, but my favorite part was waking up next to a field full of cows (and their calves!) and not another human in sight. The perfect retreat from my everyday city life. Jay and Ryanne were nothing but exceptional hosts. They were there to greet me when I arrived and made sure I was all set before they left. They even provided treats and fresh water for my pup (who also enjoyed the freedom and seclusion the property had to offer). Thankfully we didn't have any emergencies, but, if we did, I know they would have only been a phone call away. I would recommend this house to anybody and everybody looking to find a little peace and serenity. You won't be disappointed.

RachelAugust 2016

We felt great when we got there and throughout the stay. Jay was exceptional across the board and the house was just what we'd hope. Like another reviewer, I hope others don't find this place so that we can book it whenever we want. My family particularly enjoyed all the things to do in the house. From books to magazines to board games to knitting to cards, this place has it all. Lastly, the outdoor grill/fireplace was wonderful. The host provided the charcoal and even wood for a fire after cooking. We loved eating outside while the fire flies came out in the cool dusk air.

I have one bedroom available in my home in Madison County 35 miles from Shenandoah National Park. Enjoy a day of hiking in the mountains! My home is close to great wineries and historical sites. Start your day with scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and ham for breakfast! I can also make dinner for you with advance notice for an additional $10 per person. Some of my usual dishes are chicken curry and chicken sautéed with snow peas and shiitake mushrooms served over basmati rice with raisins.

The room has a full-sized bed for up to two people and a closet. The bathroom is right across the hall and is shared with my cat, Sabrina. There are curtains in the hallway between the living room and the bedroom that I close at night to offer my guests some privacy. Please bear in mind that my home isn't new, having been built in 1957. It has its own charm and character that I hope you will appreciate as much as I do. I try my best to accommodate all of my guests' needs. I welcome long-term reservations, so just let me know what your requirements are. Good communication is essential between the host and the guests!
There is a TV in the living room that you can watch during your stay. I'm at home most of the time, and I do enjoy watching TV at night. I have wireless Internet access throughout the house. If you need a comfortable place to use your laptop, you can sit at the table in the kitchen.
I'm the owner of the house and will be here all the time. My bedroom is down in the basement, and I have my own bathroom down there. The price quoted includes a hot breakfast of scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and ham. I love to cook and enjoy making breakfast for my guests!

I live close to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Shenandoah National Park is 35 miles away. If you take Route 231 from Madison to Sperryville, you will have a lovely drive before heading up the mountain. My house is situated on five acres, so there's plenty of room to walk around and enjoy nature. If you are sensitive to traffic noise, you may find my proximity to Route 29 undesirable. There is always traffic on the highway as this is a major route to Washington, D.C. However, it's very convenient when you pull out of my driveway and set off for your day's adventure!
There are so many great places to visit in this area. Montpellier, the home of James Madison, is close by, and Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, is in the historic city of Charlottesville, located just 35 miles away on Route 29 South. For wine lovers, this area is full of vineyards, like the Prince Michel Winery half a mile from our house.
Culpeper is just ten miles away and offers the historical charm of Davis Street with great restaurants like It's About Thyme and Foti's. The train station at the end of Davis Street is still open for business with Amtrak trains stopping for passengers who want to go to New York City.
There's no public transportation in our neighborhood. My house is right on Route 29, so it's easy to find. If you don't have a car, I can provide you with transportation at an additional cost. Dulles Airport is an hour and a half from my house, and there's a train station in Culpeper, which is 11 miles away. Charlottesville is 35 miles away on Route 29 South.
My mother passed away in February 2016. She loved meeting our Airbnb guests and was able to remember all of their names from the beginning, which is something I couldn't do! Her grave is right here on my property and is marked by a white cross. Now that she's gone, it's just me and Sabrina, my Persian cat, living here. There are also two outdoor cats here who hang out on the porch. They will greet you as soon as you arrive! If you like cats and a relaxed atmosphere, you'll be right at home here!

Tony is a great host! One of the best we've had. He was very accommodating and friendly, and his home is a perfect getaway. He also makes a great breakfast which we devoured in the morning!

AbbyNovember 2016

Tony was a very gracious and communicative host, and his mother, very sweet. Their cozy home rests on several acres of beautiful Virginia countryside. The location was perfect for our jaunt into Shenandoah National Park. Breakfast was quite scrumptious, too. Great hospitality, thanks again, Tony!

KimNovember 2015

Tony did everything in his power to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. He was very hospitable and knowledgeable about the area. He was very flexible despite our hectic schedule, and he and his mother were a pleasure to chat with. Tony makes a delightful cup of tea that added to the coziness of this charming house. I would definitely recommend staying here to a friend.

LieseOctober 2015

Tony was a master communicator from the initial listing to the final evening and everything in-between. He made sure to give us detailed directions to arrive easily, great advice where to go and what to do in the area (as well as where to park most conveniently!), and hours of conversation at the breakfast table. Everything is exactly as described in the listing. We loved staying at Tony's home!

AutumnJuly 2016

My wife and I needed a place to stay the night before hiking Old Rag Mountain in the morning, which is about 30 minutes away. Tony is a great guy, very responsive, and a wonderful host. We arrived around 10 PM and Tony greeted us and made us feel welcome. The house is a bit dated (exactly as pictured), the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. There are cats in the house so be aware of that if you are allergic (we are not so it was fine). Tony made us a big and delicious breakfast in the morning, with excellent coffee, and we enjoyed chatting with him about various life experiences before departing for our hike. Excellent value!

AustinApril 2016

Location is within 30 minutes of Old Rag Mountain which made it a perfect place to stay for our trip to Old Rag. Tony was very hospitable and did everything to ensure that our stay was pleasant. Tony was very responsive in his communications which made it easy for us to manage our arrival time. I would recommend.

KimOctober 2016

Because both of my stays with Tony were extended because of my business in the area we became friends. Tony was a great host and interesting communicator in that he is not only a professional linguist, but well traveled. If I were a breakfast eater I surely would have enjoyed his morning meal. The room was cozy, bed comfy, and privacy provided. Also of note I took the Amtrak auto train from Sanford, FL to Lorton, VA (near DC) and Tony's place is only about an hour and one half away.

NancyJune 2016

Tony's place is exactly as advertised. The bed is very comfortable. I didn't get to enjoy his home cooked breakfast since I had to leave extremely early.

Beautiful Cabins located in one of the most scenic valleys in Virginia.

Spectacular modern day interpretation of a Mongolian yurts-- The cabins at Rose River Farm are located in Madison County, Virginia on a private 20 acre parcel. They are less than 2 hours from Washington, DC or Richmond, Virginia and 30 min from Charlottesville. They have beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Rose River Valley. The cabins are over 1,100 square feet each and feature two bed rooms with two full baths. Each bedroom has two double beds. The living room features a domed 17 ft ceiling, leather club furniture and a jumbo flat screen TV with satellite, DVD player and even an Ipod docking stereo. Satellite WIFI is available from a third party provider for $4 a day. There is also a full kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, full size fridge and freezer with ice maker) and a nice round dining / gaming table for eating or a little evening cards. There is also a great fire pit with wood supplied. Visit our Rose River Farm website for more info.

The cabin was beautiful in an unbelievable setting that is truly relaxing. The check in and out is really easy and I would recommend this cabin to anyone. It's really close to some nice wineries and amazing hike trails in the Shenandoah Mountains.

JamesApril 2015

The yurt cabin was lovely! It was exactly what we were looking for (in the country, off the grid) & very close to Shenendoah. It was extremely clean, the beds were comfy, and they had plenty of towels. FYI that cell service was spotty to nonexistent, but again, you should probably expect that! Our only complaint was that you had to pay for wifi (which may be mentioned on airbnb, but I may not have seen it) and it only worked one device at a time. It wasn't a big deal or expensive, just unexpected. All in all, we'd definitely come here again.

CourtneyMay 2015

The yurt was just beautiful. It had everything you would need to have a comfortable stay. He had pots and pans too for cooking in which we really enjoyed. It was also secluded so it was nice for a day away from The city! We also enjoyed the fire pit out front and walking down to the pond! We would definitely love to return one day! Another positive, the cabin has AC!! The owner kept in contact before the trip so he informed us of everything we needed to know!

AmandaAugust 2015

My family and I loved our stay at this wonderful cabin. The pictures are true to how it looks in real life, and the scenery is magnificent. We booked our stay here a day before arrival, and our hosts made it incredibly easy for us to arrive at any convenient time.

LeahMay 2016

The yurt was wonderful -- the location was beautiful in a secluded place in the Blue Ridge Mountains and exactly what we wanted from this experience.

SharonmoyeeJuly 2015

A most charming, clean, spacious and welcoming yurt. Beautiful view over the pond. Very comfortable. We had a wonderful time here. A lovely fire pit we sat around at night. Helpful and accommodating owner. Very happy.

Jane July 2016

The yurts were great and a perfect location - close to hiking.

CharlotteOctober 2016

We had a great experience at the Mountain Top Yurt. It had plenty of room, a fire pit, a grill and incredible scenery. Best of all, it's close to some great wineries.
